Need a light headlamp with real power, red light for preserving night vision and three mounting options – from helmet to headband to magnetic mount on steel? The Fenix HM53R delivers 1,200 lumens from a Luminus SST-25 LED, additional 2-LED red light and a swappable 18350 cell system in just 102 g.
Buy the Fenix HM53R headlamp – multi-mount with white and red light
The Fenix HM53R is the versatile headlamp for anyone switching between outdoor and industrial use – from night trail runs through bushcraft tours to workshop inspections. A Luminus SST-25 LED delivers 1,200 lumens of white light with 158 m beam; additional two OSRAM-2835 red LEDs preserve your night vision and don’t disturb wildlife during observation. Three mounting options make the light unique: headband for classic headlamp use, removable body clip for shoulder strap or chest pocket, and magnetic tail for ferromagnetic surfaces. The light runs on an ARB-L18-1600 (18350) cell – included – and is also compatible with 16340 and CR123A. USB-C charging in 2.5 h and IP68 protection make it the no-compromise all-weather headlamp. At 102 g including cell, headband and mount, it stays comfortable even on long tours. Buy online at Swiss-Sale.ch with fast shipping from Switzerland.

Three mounts – one light for every task
The HM53R has no fixed mount but a modular attachment system. The included headband is the classic choice for trail running, climbing, bushcraft and camping – one-click detachable for cleaning. The removable body clip turns the HM53R into a clip-on light you can attach to shoulder strap, chest pocket or tool loop – ideal for professionals who don’t want to work with a head strap. The magnetic tail sticks to bonnets, steel benches and radiators for hands-free workshop or car wrenching tasks. That way you get the right light source for every task – without extra equipment.
Red light mode – preserve night vision, don’t disturb wildlife
Red light has a special property: it doesn’t trigger pupil contraction in the human eye, so your dark-adapted night vision is preserved – and wildlife reacts less to red than to white light. The HM53R has two dedicated OSRAM-2835 red LEDs you can switch on and off separately. Ideal for: astronomers at the telescope, hunters in the hide, camping kitchen work without dazzling other campers, observatory visits, map reading at the campfire, toilet trips in the tent without waking your tent mate.
18350 cell system – with 16340/CR123A compatibility
The HM53R ships with a Fenix ARB-L18-1600 (18350 format, 1,600 mAh) cell charged directly via USB-C (~2.5 h). If your cell dies on the trail and you have no power, you can replace it with two smaller cells: 16340 Li-Ion or CR123A primary lithium cells. CR123A are widely available at photo shops and outdoor stores, last 10+ years in storage and work in extreme cold and heat. This makes the HM53R the ideal backup light for multi-day tours without power access.
Large side switch – glove operable
The HM53R’s large side switch is intentionally oversized so you can operate the light with thick winter gloves, work gloves or cold-stiffened fingers. A lock function (3-second press) prevents accidental activation in the backpack – the same 3-second gesture unlocks it. The intelligent low-voltage warning automatically dims the light when the cell runs low so you’re not suddenly left in the dark. Under sustained high-output use, the circuit reduces power above 55 °C automatically to protect the LEDs.
